    Will Ethereum Be Declared a Security By the SEC Next Week?

    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may soon assert that Ethereum is a security in its expected rejections of several spot Ethereum ETF applications, a lawyer who specializes in digital assets warned Tuesday. The regulator is due to decide on VanEck’s application for such a product on May 23, followed by a final decision deadline for ARK Invest/21Shares’ application the next day. BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale also have applications on the SEC’s desk. In March, the SEC put forth pot...

    Consensys Lawsuit Over Ethereum Won’t Deter SEC, Former Regulator Says

    A preemptive lawsuit filed in Texas federal court aims to definitively determine Ethereum’s regulatory status. But the move by blockchain software company Consensys in its home state may be far from the final legal showdown over crypto’s second-top coin, as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has national reach. “The SEC can bring a case anywhere in the country,” Christopher Gerold, a partner at Lowenstein Sandler LLP told Decrypt. “They can just as easily file a lawsuit today and alleg...

    Talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel blasted collectors of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s NFT projects as “suckers” and “freaks” late Wednesday—right as secondary market prices for the assets were taking off. The floor price—or price of the cheapest NFT listed on a marketplace—of Trump Digital Trading Cards minted on Ethereum scaling network Polygon has doubled over the past day to $434, according to data NFT Price Floor. Nearly 90 NFTs from the collection have traded hands during that span. Kimmel...

Once regarded as the defunct exchange’s native token on Ethereum, allowed claims regarding FTT are to be “canceled or released,” a plan filed in Delaware bankruptcy court states.

    Elon Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency is far, far away from an all-time high price of $0.73 set in 2021. But for a majority of Dogecoin holders, there’s little reason to tuck their tail in between their legs. Some 77% of Dogecoin (DOGE) holders are in the money—meaning the cryptocurrency’s price is above what it was relative to when people bought it—according to IntoTheBlock. With 21% of Dogecoin holders posting paper losses, that leaves a 2% sliver of holders at breakeven. The original meme coin...
